2017 Map of Kenai C-1 NW

About this map

Mystery Creek Road provides the primary corridor through this portion of the Kenai Peninsula, a landscape defined by an extensive network of wetlands and subarctic water bodies. The terrain is dominated by the northern reaches of the Moose River and the meandering course of the Chickaloon River, which shape the drainage patterns for numerous small lakes. Named features like Rabbit Foot Lake, Jay Lake, and Muskrat Lake highlight a complex hydrographic system where dry ground is scarce. In the southeast, Mystery Cr flows toward the river systems, illustrating the remote and undeveloped nature of the interior peninsula during the early twenty-first century. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a region largely devoid of permanent settlements, focused instead on the natural transition between marshland and elevated creek beds.
